MIMR Jul11 6 Prudential norms refers to ideal/ responsible norms to be maintained by banks
In line wit the international practices and as per the recommendations made by the Committee on the Financial System (Chairman M. Narasimham), the RBI has introduced, in a phased manner, prudential norms so as to move towards greater consistency and transparency in the published accounts
The prudential norms, inter-alia, relates to Capital adequacy Asset classification Provisioning for assets Income recognition Classification, valuation and operation of investment portfolios Provision for investment fluctuation reserve Capital market exposures Restructuring of advances by banks
Prudential Norms for Banks MIMR Jul11 7 Prudential Norms for Banks The basic premise of these norms, inter-alia, are The policy of income recognition should be objective and based on record of recovery rather than on any subjective considerations
The classification of assets of banks has to be done on the basis of objective criteria which which would ensure a uniform and consistent application of the norms
The provisioning should be made on the basis of the classification of assets based on the period for which the asset has remained nonperforming and the availability of security and the realizable value thereof
Banks are to ensure that while granting loans and advances, realistic repayment schedules may be fixed on the basis of cash flows with borrowers to facilitate prompt repayment by the borrowers and thus improve the record of recovery in advances
With the introduction of prudential norms, the Health Code-based system for classification of advances has ceased to be a subject of supervisory interest
As such, all related reporting requirements, etc. under the Health Code system also cease to be a supervisory requirement
Banks may, however, continue the system at their discretion as a management information tool
MIMR Jul11 8 It is the ratio which determines the capacity of the bank in terms of meeting the time liabilities and other risk such as credit risk, operational risk, etc.
In the most simple formulation, a bank's capital is the "cushion" for potential losses, which protect the bank's depositors or other lenders
Banking Regulators in most countries define and monitor CAR to protect depositors, thereby maintaining confidence in the banking system
CAR is similar to leverage and in the most basic formulation, it is comparable to the inverse of debt to equity leverage formula
CAR uses equity over assets instead of debt to equity
Unlike traditional leverage , CAR recognizes that assets can have different levels of risk Capital adequacy ratio [CAR] MIMR Jul11 9
CAR also called CR (Weighted) AR It is the ratio of a banks capital to its risk National regulators track a banks CAR/CRAR to ensure that it can absorb a reasonable amount of loss
Risk Weighting:
Since different types of assets have different risk profiles, CAR primarily adjusts for assets that are less risky by allowing banks to "discount" lower- risk assets
The specifics of CAR calculation vary from country to country, but general approaches tend to be similar for countries that apply the Basel Accords
In the most basic application, Govt. debt is allowed a 0% "risk weighting" that is, they are subtracted from total assets for purposes of calculating the CAR
Capital to Risk Assets Ratio [CRAR] MIMR Jul11 10 Risk weighting: Local Regulations establish that cash and Govt bonds have a 0% risk weighting Residential mortgage loans have a 50% risk weighting All other types of assets (loans to customers) have a 100% risk weighting
Bank "A" has Assets totaling 100 units, consisting of: Cash: 10 units Govt. Bonds: 15 units Mortgage Loans: 20 units Other Loans: 50 units Other Assets: 5 units
Bank "A" has deposits [Liability] of 95 units, all of which are deposits
By definition, Equity is equal to Assets minus Debt = 5 units
Risk Weighting of Assets MIMR Jul11 11 Bank A's risk-weighted assets are calculated as follows: Cash10 * 0% = 0 Government bonds15 * 0% = 0 Mortgage loans20 * 50% =10 Other loans50 * 100% = 50 Other assets5 * 100% = 5 Total risk Weighted assets= 65 Equity [100 95 ] = 5 CAR (Equity/RWA) = 7.69%
Even though Bank "A" would appear to have a Debt : Equity ratio of 95:5, or Equity to assets of only 5%, its CAR is substantially higher
It is considered less risky because some of its assets are less risky than others Computation of Risk Weighting MIMR Jul11 12
The Basel rules recognize that different types of equity are more important than others
To recognize this, different adjustments are made: Tier I Capital: Actual contributed equity plus retained earnings. Tier 2 Capital: Preferred shares plus 50% of sub- ordinated debt Tier 3 Capital: Short term sub- ordinated debt
Different minimum CAR ratios are applied: Minimum Tier 1equity to risk-weighted assets may be 4%, While minimum CAR including Tier 2 capital may be 8%.[RBI has prescribed 9%]
There is usually a maximum of Tier 2 capital that may be "counted towards CAR, depending on the jurisdiction
Basel Norms on Capital MIMR Jul11 13 Tier 1 capital is the core measure of a bank's financial strength from a regulator's point of view It is the most reliable form of capital It consists of the types of financial capital considered the most reliable, liquid and primarily equity
Tier 2 capital is a measure of a bank's financial strength with regard to the second most reliable forms of financial capital, from a regulator's point of view T2 capital shall not exceed 100% of T1 capital
Tier 3 Capital is essentially short term sub-ordinate debt for the sole purpose of meeting a proportion of the capital requirement for market risks [ it is not yet allowed by RBI]
Basel Norms on Capital MIMR Jul11 14 Tier 1 Tier 2 Permanent shareholders equity Undisclosed reserves Perpetual non convertible prefrence shares Revaulation reserves [only 45%] Disclosed reserves General provisions/general loan loss reserves Innovative capital instruments [not to exceed 15% of T1] Hybrid debt capital instruments [with characteristics of equity and debt] Subordinated term debt [ only 50% of T1] Redeemable cumulative preference shares T2 capital not to exceed 100% of T1 capital Basel's /RBI's Prescribed Instruments for Banks Capital Basel Norms on Capital MIMR Jul11 15 The Basel Committee in Basel Switzerland [BCBS] was established by The Bank for International Settlements [BIS]
Objectives of The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision are Provide a forum for regular cooperation on banking supervisory matters Enhance understanding of key supervisory issues Improve the quality of banking supervision worldwide Exchange information on national supervisory issues, approaches and techniques Promote common understanding amongst financial sector regulators Use the common understanding to develop guidelines and supervisory standards in desirable areas
Basel Committee is best known for its International Standards on Capital Adequacy The Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision The Concordat on Cross-border Banking Supervision
Basel Norms for Banks MIMR Jul11 16 Basel I Norms Set out the minimum capital requirements of financial institutions
Focused mainly on credit risk by creating a bank asset classification system
Required Banks that operate internationally to maintain a minimum 8% capital based on a % of risk-weighted assets
Classified banks assets into five risk categories: Cash, central bank and government debt*: 0% Public sector debt: 0%, 10%, 20% or 50% Development bank debt*: 20% Residential mortgages: 50% Private sector debt*: 100% *Includes specified OECD and non-OECD debts etc
Basel I Norms [1998] MIMR Jul11 17 Basel II Norms main purposes To help the banking regulators to guide how much risk adjusted capital local banks should maintain for To ensure that banks hold capital reserves appropriate to the risk the bank is exposed through its lending and investment practices. To safeguard the solvency of the banks To promote sufficient consistency & competitive equality amongst internationally active banks To protect the international financial system from the problems of major bank/s collapse and for overall economic stability introduced a new 150% weighting for borrowers with lower credit ratings The minimum risk weighted capital required was 8% with Tier 1 capital at 4% of this amount.
Basel II uses a "three pillars" concept Minimum capital requirements [addressing risk] Supervisory review Market Discipline
Basel II Norms [2004] MIMR Jul11 18 First Pillar Deals with maintenance of regulatory capital calculated for three major components of risk that a bank faces Credit risk Operational risk Market risk [Other risks were not considered fully quantifiable]
The three risks component can be calculated as follows Credit risk Standardized approach Foundation Internal Rating Based [IRB] approach Advanced IRB [For the above Banks relied on the on the ratings generated by external credit rating agencies] Operation risk Basic Indicator approach Standardized approach Internal Measurement approach Market Risk Value at Risk [VaR] approach Three Pillars of Basel II MIMR Jul11 19 Second Pillar Deals with the regulatory response to the first pillar Gives regulators much improved tools Provides a framework for dealing with other risks such as Concentration risk Liquidity risk Legal risk Pension risk Reputational risk Strategic risk Systemic risk Gives banks power to review their risk management system
Third Pillar Promotes Market Discipline for good corporate governance Aims to complement the Pillars 1 & 2 review process by developing a set of disclosure requirements Allows the market participants to gauge the capital adequacy of an financial institution Three Pillars of Basel II MIMR Jul11 20 RBI has implemented the Basel II standardized norms for banks in 2009
RBI norms under Basel II are Common equity (incl of buffer): 3.6%(Basel 2 buffer requirement are zero) Tier 1 Capital: 6%. Total Capital : 9 % of risk weighted assets.
Under Basel III the specified norms are Common equity including conservation & seasonal buffer: 7% to 8.5% [4.5% +2.5%(conservation buffer) + 0-2.5%(seasonal buffer)] Tier 1 capital: 8.5% to 11% Total capita: l0.5% to 13.5%nary assessment of their risk management system
For assessing operational risks in banks RBI specified systems are Internal credit ratings Basic Indicator Approach/ Alternative Standardized Approach Advanced Management Approach[AMA]
Implementation of Basel Norms in India MIMR Jul11 21 Basel III Norms [2010]
Basel III Norms provides Two new capital buffers: a conservation buffer and a countercyclical buffer New and substantial capital charges for non-cleared derivative and other financial market transactions Significant revisions to the rules on the types of instrument that count as bank capital An unweighted leverage ratio
MIMR Jul11 22 Capital Ratios Replaces core Tier 1 capital with a tougher concept of Common Equity
Common equity consists of only common shares plus retained income
Require banks to hold 4.5% of common equity [Basel II required only 2% of Core T1 capital]
The total Tier 1 increased from 4% to 6%
The other types of Tier 1 instrument - additional going concern capital can account for up to 1.5% of T1 capital
The total minimum capital remains at 8%, subject to a new capital buffer
T1 capital must be 6%
T2 will no longer be divided into upper and lower tiers & can account for only 2% of capital
T3 meant solely for market risk purposes will be removed completely
Basel III Norms MIMR Jul11 23 New capital buffers Capital Conservation Buffer All banks to hold sufficient capital & have a capital conservation buffer above the minimum 8% total capital
This buffer is set at 2.5% and consisting solely of common equity after deductions
Effectively common equity capital must be equal to 7% of risk-weighted assets other than in times of stress when the buffer can be drawn down
The buffer is to ensure that banks maintain capital levels throughout a significant downturn and have less discretion to deplete their capital by dividend payments
Banks that do not meet this buffer will be restricted from paying dividends, buying back shares and paying discretionary employee bonuses Basel III Norms
MIMR Jul11 24 Countercyclical Buffer Banks may at certain times be required to hold a countercyclical buffer of up to 2.5% of capital in the form of common equity or other fully loss- absorbing capital
This is a macro-prudential tool to protect banks from periods of excessive credit growth and is at the national regulators' discretion
Leverage Ratio Basel committee agreed to test an unweighted ratio of 3% over a transition period Basel III Norms MIMR Jul11 25 Non performing Assets [NPA] An asset including lease asset becomes non performing when it ceases to generate income for the bank A NPA is a loan/advance where interest and /or installment of principal remain overdue for more than 90 days in respect of the loan/advance
Income Recognition The policy of income recognition has to objective and based on the record of recovery Internationally income from NPAs is not recognized on accrual basis but is booked as income only when it is actually received . Therefore banks should not charge and take to income account interest on any NPA
Other Prudential Norms MIMR Jul11 26 Asset Classification Banks are required to NPAs into following three categories based on the period for which the asset remained NP and realisability of dues Substandard assets [which has remained NPA for <= to 12 months ] Doubtful assets[which has remained NPA for > 12 months] Loss assets [asset considered as uncollectible, has little value other than salvage value]
Provisioning Norms The primary responsibility for making adequate provisions for diminution in the value of loans , investment and other assets is that of the banks management and statutory auditors Loss assets: to be 100% written off Doubtful assets Upto 1 yr : 20% provision 1 to 3 yrs: 30% provision 3 yrs: 100% provision Sub-Standarad assets: a general provision of 10% of total outstanding to be made without making allowance for ECGC guarantees and other securities available
Other Prudential Norms MIMR Jul11 27 Padmanabhan committee on on-site supervision of banks recommended five points [A to E] rating scale.RBI introduced international rating model CAMELS
CAMELS model is based on Capital adequacy Asset quality Management Earning Liquidity Systems and controls
RBI annual on-site inspection of banks assess their financial health and evaluate their performance based on above parameters
Based on findings of the inspection banks are assigned supervisory ratings based on the CAMELS rating
OSMOS [Offsite Surveillance and Monitoring System] requires the banks to submit detailed and structured information periodically on which basis RBI analyzes the health of the banks
